Greetings!

My name is Uche Wamuo and I am an amateur photographer based in Minnesota. I focus primarily on nature and wildlife, but I occasionally dip my toes into other genres of photography. I started in this art form to get out of the house more, but over time, I started enjoying it more and more. Photography has quickly become an integral part of who I am. Now, I want to share what I have captured with more people!

The meaning behind “Spirit Child”

My surname, Wamuo (Nigerian in origin), translates to ‘Son of spirit’ or ‘Spirit Child’. When my mother told me this, I found it fascinating and it just so happens that it perfectly encapsulates photography for me. Every time I go to a state park or nature center, I get filled with child-like wonder and excitement at all there is to see. It is as if every part of my being (body and spirit) yearns to be connected to the nature around me.
